Picture this scenario: you're scrolling through amazon's great Indian festival’s offers, and you spot a gaming laptop with a flashy "50% off" tag during this sale. It seems like that deal is too good to ignore, right? But here's the point - how can you believe that this discount is genuine and not just a marketing tactic by amazon like without even actually deducting the price of that product as per the mentioned discount? It’s hard to believe, but what if it’s true?
To check these things, you need this special tool

On October 1st, there was a significant rise in the price, which surged to a new peak at 62,990.
Now coming to october 7, the selling price of this laptop is 57,990, which is higher than the price on september 24 which is 54,990
Based on the price history of this laptop, we can observe a notable change in pricing strategies by Amazon during this great Indian festival sale . On September 24, the laptop was initially priced at 53,990. Subsequently, on October 1st, there was a significant increase in price, reaching a peak of 62,990. However, on October 7, the selling price was set at 57,990.
This pricing pattern raises questions regarding whether these variations represent promotional offers or specific marketing strategies. The initial price increase on October 1st to 62,990 may have been an attempt to create a sense of urgency or perceived value for the product, potentially encouraging customers to make a purchase at the higher price point.
Should this be considered as the great offer by amazon during this sale or a simple strategy to make us buy at a regular price thinking that it’s on offer. The answer is yours. Remember to use Buyhatke to find the right offer and also to identify the fake offer like mentioned above.
